Vamvas Modern Greek Bible: Vamvas (1850)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Και ήλθεν ο Δαβίδ εις Νωβ, προς Αχιμέλεχ τον ιερέα· εξεπλάγη δε ο Αχιμέλεχ εις την συνάντησιν του Δαβίδ και είπε προς αυτόν, Διά τι συ μόνος, και δεν είναι ουδείς μετά σου;
1 Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest. Ahimelech came to meet David trembling, and said to him, “Why are you alone, and no man with you?”
2 Και είπεν ο Δαβίδ προς τον Αχιμέλεχ τον ιερέα, Ο βασιλεύς προσέταξεν εις εμέ υπόθεσίν τινά και μοι είπεν, Ας μη εξεύρη μηδείς μηδέν περί της υποθέσεως, διά την οποίαν εγώ σε αποστέλλω, μηδέ τι προσέταξα εις εσέ· και διώρισα εις τους δούλους τον δείνα και δείνα τόπον.
2 David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has commanded me to do something, and has said to me, ‘Let no one know anything about the business about which I send you, and what I have commanded you. I have sent the young men to a certain place.’
3 Τώρα λοιπόν τι σοι είναι πρόχειρον; δος πέντε άρτους εις την χείρα μου, ή ό,τι ευρίσκεται.
3 Now therefore what is under your hand? Please give me five loaves of bread in my hand, or whatever is available.”
4 Και απεκρίθη ο ιερεύς προς τον Δαβίδ, και είπε, Δεν έχω πρόχειρον ουδένα κοινόν άρτον, αλλ' είναι άρτοι ηγιασμένοι· οι νέοι εφυλάχθησαν καθαροί τουλάχιστον από γυναικών;
4 The priest answered David, and said, “I have no common bread, but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.”
5 Και απεκρίθη ο Δαβίδ προς τον ιερέα και είπε προς αυτόν, Μάλιστα αι γυναίκες είναι μακράν αφ' ημών εις τας τρεις ταύτας ημέρας, αφού εξήλθον, και τα σκεύη των νέων είναι καθαρά· και ούτος ο άρτος είναι τρόπον τινά κοινός, μάλιστα επειδή σήμερον είναι άλλος ηγιασμένος εις τα σκεύη.
5 David answered the priest, and said to him, “Truly, women have been kept from us as usual these three days. When I came out, the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was only a common journey. How much more then today shall their vessels be holy?”
6 Έδωκε λοιπόν ο ιερεύς εις αυτόν τους άρτους τους αγίους· διότι δεν ήτο εκεί άρτος παρά τους άρτους της προθέσεως, οίτινες είχον σηκωθή απ' έμπροσθεν του Κυρίου, διά να θέσωσιν άρτους ζεστούς καθ' ην ημέραν εσηκώθησαν εκείνοι.
6 So the priest gave him holy bread; for there was no bread there but the show bread that was taken from before Yahweh, to be replaced with hot bread in the day when it was taken away.
7 Ήτο δε εκεί άνθρωπός τις εκ των δούλων του Σαούλ, την ημέραν εκείνην, κρατούμενος ενώπιον του Κυρίου· και το όνομα αυτού Δωήκ, ο Ιδουμαίος, ο πρώτιστος των ποιμένων του Σαούλ.
7 Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Yahweh; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the best of the herdsmen who belonged to Saul.
8 Και είπεν ο Δαβίδ προς τον Αχιμέλεχ, Και δεν έχεις εδώ πρόχειρον κανέν δόρυ ή ρομφαίαν; διότι ούτε την ρομφαίαν μου ούτε τα όπλα μου έλαβον εν τη χειρί μου, επειδή του βασιλέως η υπόθεσις ήτο κατεπείγουσα.
8 David said to Ahimelech, “Isn’t there here under your hand spear or sword? For I haven’t brought my sword or my weapons with me, because the king’s business required haste.”
9 Και είπεν ο ιερεύς, Η ρομφαία Γολιάθ του Φιλισταίου, τον οποίον επάταξας εν τη κοιλάδι Ηλά, ιδού είναι περιτετυλιγμένη εις φόρεμα όπισθεν του εφόδ· εάν θέλης να λάβης αυτήν, λάβε· διότι ενταύθα δεν είναι άλλη παρά εκείνην. Και είπεν ο Δαβίδ. Δεν είναι ουδεμία ως αυτή· δος μοι αυτήν.
9 The priest said, “Behold, the sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you would like to take that, take it, for there is no other except that here.” David said, “There is none like that. Give it to me.”
10 Και εσηκώθη ο Δαβίδ και έφυγε την ημέραν εκείνην από προσώπου του Σαούλ, και υπήγε προς τον Αγχούς, βασιλέα της Γαθ
10 David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.
11 Και είπον οι δούλοι του Αγχούς προς αυτόν, Δεν είναι ούτος ο Δαβίδ ο βασιλεύς του τόπου; δεν είναι ούτος, εις τον οποίον αμοιβαίως έψαλλον εν τοις χοροίς, λέγουσαι, Ο Σαούλ επάταξε τας χιλιάδας αυτού, και ο Δαβίδ τας μυριάδας αυτού;
11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David the king of the land? Didn’t they sing to one another about him in dances, saying, ‘Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”
12 Και έβαλεν ο Δαβίδ τους λόγους τούτους εν τη καρδία αυτού και εφοβήθη σφόδρα από του Αγχούς βασιλέως της Γαθ.
12 David laid up these words in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath.
13 Και ήλλαξε τον τρόπον αυτού έμπροσθεν αυτών, και προσεποιήθη τον τρελλόν μεταξύ των χειρών αυτών, και έξυεν επάνω των θυρών της πύλης, και άφινε τον σίελον αυτού να καταπίπτη εις το γένειον αυτού.
13 He changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands, and scribbled on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall down on his beard.
14 Τότε είπεν ο Αγχούς προς τους δούλους αυτού, Ιδού, σεις βλέπετε τον άνθρωπον ότι είναι τρελλός· διά τι εφέρετε αυτόν προς εμέ;
14 Then Achish said to his servants, “Look, you see the man is insane. Why then have you brought him to me?
15 μήπως εγώ στερούμαι τρελλών, ώστε να φέρητε τούτον διά να κάμνη τον τρελλόν έμπροσθέν μου; ούτος ήθελεν εισέλθει εις την οικίαν μου;
15 Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to play the madman in my presence? Should this fellow come into my house?”

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    … His Own Body and Blood: because when He commendeth His Own Body and Blood, He commendeth His Humility, in that which is written in this history, in that seeming madness of David, which we have passed by, "And his spittle ran down over his beard."
